Wait, N.S.F.W.? As in Not Safe For Work? What, is it gonna have explicit lyrics? :V
Knowing Daisuke Ishiwatari, it’s a joke about Guilty Gear’s global situation in the story, what with the Apocalyptic themes.
The world isn’t “safe” to live or work in yet!

Also Naoki Hashimoto’s Lyrics are actually somewhat explicit already.
i was asking mainly because someone said on printed documents for guilty gear strive daisuke isn't listed for them when they list the credits and I'm just trying to figure what printed documents there are.
That's weird. You'd think, for a game that was co-directed by Ishiwatari himself, his name would be printed on it SOMEWHERE... heck even the box art or back of the box.
Well, regardless, his name IS in the game's credits, so regardless of any printed materials, his name WILL show up in Story Mode if you look carefully in the opening scenes.
His name ALSO appears at the end of Arcade Mode's credits as well (regardless of character selected).
Side note: there's even an entry in GG World Library on Ishiwatari himself, so go look it up!
Is Daisuke the Universal Will?
No.
. . .
I know Daisuke Ishiwatari has every right to say his favorite fighting game of all time is Street Fighter III: Third Strike.
But that was back in 1999.
Guilty Gear X hadn't even been invented (by him) yet!
Just sayin'.
ARC's Style: Ishiwatari Interview
This Interview came out in 2012 so it's a little old (don't laugh too hard on the ironic question responses, this was just before GGXrd was announced).
I'm archiving it for posterity purposes in the GG+Interviews tag.
Also keep in mind Daisuke's memory is a little fuzzy when talking about his past in this interview. (I swear I'll get to the bottom of his work history someday!)
The "Vocational School" he's referring to is called "Amusement Media Integrated (Research) Institute" (Amusement Media Sogo Gakuen / アミューズメントメディア総合学院, sometimes called AMG for short) which is also Toshimichi Mori's Alma mater!
I also realized it could be a reference to Skid Row's I remember you, cause there is one line in the chorus that says remember yesterday. I'm never sure when it comes to the vast rock knowledge of Daisuke.
He tends to stick with European, Japanese, and Classic Rock… not really in to Rockabilly or Punk or the like. Neoclassical mostly.
do you know what role had daisuke ishiwatari when he worked for SNK? we know he was one of the developers of gekka no kenshi (the last blade) series but I would like to know if he was an illustrator, a music composer or a character designer, like he is for the GG series. thanks in advance
Sorry to tell you this, but that’s a myth. The original Romance of the Bakumatsu: Swordsman of the Moonlight came out in 1997 published by SNK with it’s sequel (Last Blade 2) coming out in November of 1998. Daisuke Ishiwatari was working with ARC System Works since 1995 and earlier. (Guilty Gear: The Missing Link came out May 14th, 1998, 7 months before Last Blade 2 was released in Arcades).
Certainly “someone” worked on Last Blade 2 who was named “Daisuke”, but that could be anyone since no last name was given in the credits of that game (compared to Guilty Gear which gave Daisuke Ishiwatari’s full name at the time).
Typically Daisuke Ishiwatari works as an Illustrator and Music Composer (occasionally directing the games), so sprite work such as background design (which is what this “other Daisuke” in Last Blade 2 was credited for) is usually done by other members at ARC System Works (Daisuke was never credited for Guilty Gear’s stage designs either, even though he created the main story and characters).
And in case you were also wondering, Daisuke had nothing to do with the “First of the North Star” game they (ARCSys) later produced as well.
Aside from that, I seem to recall an older interview in which it was outright denied that Daisuke had any involvement with SNK as well… though the interview is already very old and I don’t recall the source and context (I believe it was an Aksys Games interview when they asked Daisuke questions on Guilty Gear 2 and Accent Core).
. . .
Sometimes I wish News Reporters would actually do their research before interviewing people and getting their information straight. Not only is it a mark of professionalism, but it's respectful to the interviewee (especially if you don't know anything about Guilty Gear).
I noticed a lot of "late bloomer" re bloggers lately. I suggest reading my "GGXrd", "GG+Roster", "Senato", "Bedman", and "Ramlethal+Valentine" and "GG+Interviews" tags to catch up on information.
